A first Inter goal for Bisseck: "I felt the joy of the entire stadium"
Team
— Dec 23rd 2023A special and perfect match. Yann-Aurel Bisseck was a dominant figure during Inter vs. Lecce, producing a fantastic performance defensively and also providing a huge threat at the other end of the pitch. First, he hit the bar with a right-footed volley; then, he headed home a Calhanoglu free-kick to give Inter the lead.
It was Bisseck's very first goal in Nerazzurri colours and, in finding the net, he became the first Inter defender born after 2000 to score in Serie A. In general, he's the second Nerazzurri man born after 2000 to bag in the Italian top flight, following in the footsteps of Sebastiano Esposito (born in 2022, he netted against Genoa on 21/12/2019).
After the restart, the German came close to bagging a brace with another header on an evening where Inter ran out 2-0 winners over Lecce.
“It was a fantastic evening: I felt the joy of the whole team and the entire stadium. Your first goal remains unforgettable, so I’m really happy. I’d never before played in such a big stadium and league in front of such incredible fans; it’s the dream of every player. I did my job out on the pitch, but the entire team were excellent, also defensively. I’m happy for everyone.”
